Pro tip: add a tablespoon of baking soda to your pasta water before adding your pasta if you're using Italian style noodles for Asian dishes. The alkalinity of the water gives them a similar profile as actual Asian style noodles. Tastes just like the lo mein at your local chinese buffet, i swear.
Being Italian, we were told not to add any oil to the boiling water; the reason is that oil will coat most of the pasta and it will make the sauce very hard to actually “stick” to the pasta. I only add oil to the water when cooking lasagna sheets (either fresh or dry). That wil be because the oil helps the sheets not to stick.
yep, was taught that and I'm not of Italian descent. :) As for the garlic noodles, I find it interesting that butter is added and not sesame oil, usually toasted sesame oil.
@@petrichorpebble I think the whole point they were trying to make was that it is Italian style noodles not Asian its an Asian sauce but not Asian noodles
I love your personality. You are not just a great wonderful mother. Your also a wonderful person. God bless you and your family. You are such a a beautiful person. Thank you for being YOU❤
Hold the pasta firmly with one hand, while gently twisting in the opposite direction. Don't twist hard. Just a slight turn. It works every time. If you don't twist you are just dropping it in the pan. No spiral at all. And its true, do not add any oil. Sauce won't cling to the pasta. I started cooking at 6. I'm 75 now. I know one or two things.😅
That's quite a major assumption off of a 1 min cooking video, especially since she mentioned she is is prone to making spontaneous decisions. I hope you don't make life decisions that frivolously.
@ Sure… criticism is good for your thinking faculty as long as it’s not on an indefinite hiatus. Are you per chance implying that one must not point out AS YOU JUST DID, what one perceives as a rush to judgement? Imagine the audacity of you questioning my criticism as you criticize me? WONDERFUL!
@@HappyBob701 Nitwit, you apparently did read my comment and felt the need to retort your nonsense. How does it feel to know that you are a dunce based on the fact that what you felt the need to complain about is exactly what you just did?

Thanks for being just natural, normal and not fake. I've never put make up in or matched while making dinner. Love ya, I hit like and subscribe because UR not a phony 😊👍
This is just my preference, but Barilla always seems like trash to me. They're extremely yellow and don't have any of the flour/starch om there that helps make the amazing pasta water. But again pasta should be yellow like that
@ some put oil in the pasta cooking water to prevent sticking. If you’re making pasta shapes for a cold pasta salad then o.k. I add a little olive oil after it’s cooked.
@@m.theresa1385gotcha. My family tends to just hover over the pot taking turns stirring while we argue in a blend of two languages and hand gestures 😂
@@Lisa-fz8lh easy to imagine. A lighthearted noisy chatty family home is a wonderful thing. Maybe you’ll surprise them with a pasta salad. I like farfalle with olives, celery, hearts of palm etc ... if they’re multicolored bow ties so much the better.
I remember someone commenting about how you're not smiling in your videos but for me, I LOVE that you keep it that way because it creeps me out so much when content creator smile and stare at the camera so much (uncanny valley vibe)
You seem sadder than usual, maybe just tired. I hope you days get brighter, Mama. May the grass always be soft beneath your feet & the trees along your path bear fruit.
@Falahola316 No because the oil and water stay separate cause they have different consistency. So the oil doesn't help the noodles in any way. If you don't want them to stick I suggest stirring them every once in a while
@@Falahola316it doesn’t do anything. The oil never mixes with the water, sits right on top and is poured out when you drain the noodles. Save your oil, add a little of oil after they’re fully drained if you want to avoid any potential sticking.
@@johnd1047 to debate this, if you add oil to the water before the noodles, wouldn’t oil get on the noodles once you put them in the water? Therefore preventing them from sticking for awhile?
@ I love it! Only temporarily will the oil come in contact with the noods. Water and oil repel one another, water is denser, as well as a higher surface tension. What’ll happen is some of the oil will briefly *stick* to the noodle, but once the noodles with oil hit the water, the water will *absorb* into the noodle and the oil will float to the top of the pot. Water will/can absorb into the noodle, but oils will generally only coat the noodle at normal cooking temps.
Just a couple of suggestions from an Italian. -You don't need to put oil in pasta water, just keep it moving enough before it returns to a rolling boil and the pasta won't stick -Strain the pasta a bit before it cooks to "al dente" so that when you mix it with the sauce it finishes cooking perfectly Other than that, I've got nothing to say, it was a pretty good dish.
I was taught by an Italian chef to add a good amount of salt to the boiling pasta water, for taste and texture. My mother in law was Sicilian, and she said that she never heard of Italians putting olive oil in the pasta water, but that sea salt is mandatory. It makes sense to me, because oil might cause the pasta to become less sauce absorbent🤷🏻♀️
The oil on top of the pasta water breaks up the starch bubbles to prevent boiling over. You can use a wooden spoon across the top traditional style. The oil on top is mostly for the lazy so they don't have to think about it.
A lot of people also think one should add oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together but it indeed isn't necessary. First oil floats so you won't really coat the pasta. Also usually pasta won't stick unless you cooked it for too long or left it to cool all clumped up for too long
You know I actually followed your recipe, but I made it a little more spicy to my liking and it’s actually good Mrs ma’am. Now I’m going to try and make your fish sauce chicken wings. Thank you 🙏
I've made Asian dishes out of spaghetti/linguini, and I've made ramen, added red pasta sauce and topped it with grated Parmesan cheese (sometimes browned meat too). Delicious! It's pointless to add oil to your boiling water with the pasta. It just floats on top, then goes down the drain. Be sure to reserve some of your pasta water before draining, as it will thin out a sauce that's become too thick.
Yummy for my Tummy!! It's Saturday and I have all the ingredients..., so for tonight's snack attack.... THIS IS HAPPENING!!! (recipe in the description is invaluable. Please continue doing so, please, please, please!!)

Respect to that absolutely unhinged amount of garlic. Those noodles are delicious. I already know.
I saw the garlic and was like "oh yeah, the wife is gonna love this recipe" 😂😂😂
I had to back it up to check. 😂
normal garlic amount
That’s a normal amount imo
Lol, all I noticed was that brick of butter. The amount of garlic seemed completely reasonable to me :D

Barilla pasta. Good choice. There's only two factories in the United States. My dad works at one of them out in Iowa so good choice
This is just my preference, but Barilla always seems like trash to me. They're extremely yellow and don't have any of the flour/starch om there that helps make the amazing pasta water. But again pasta should be yellow like that
Oil in the pasta water makes it harder for any sauce to stick to the pasta. Learned that from my sicilian Nonna 💚
That’s true if it’s a thick stick to the pasta type of sauce.
@@m.theresa1385I've only ever cooked noodles for Italian food lol... is the oil for flavor? Or to help with consistency?

🗣️YAAAAAAAS QUEEEN- this looks amazingly delicious 😋 and super simple. CHEERS to a top-notch cooking tutorial 👏🏼👍🏼
Chopsticks as cooking utensils is such a good idea!

I tried this at home and it was SO GOOD!! ❤❤❤
What sauce did she use?
“Facial” 🤣. I love your videos. You be having me weak , “yo my babies crying” “safety”

NOBODY CARES THAT YOU’RE ITALIAN FFS. IT DOESNT QUALIFY WHAT YOU SAY ANY MORE THAN IF YOU WERE ANYTHING ELSE
No.
This is not Italian food.
The sims is the only time I’ve ever made garlic noodles !!! 🤣🤣

Oh my word! This is me! The blank expression, the fake smile; it's so good to see someone else who does that!
Oh, and the dish looks incredible!
It's okay! I love your last minute stuff! ❤ be you.
Looks so delicious 😋 thank you for sharing
I love garlic, so the more, the better. Love your humor and silly faces!
Just knowing she added Garlic, I know is delicious 😋
We need a tutorial on your chopsticks handling because you do it so effortlessly lol you barely move!
this without fish sauce is ittttt babe
You have to twist the noodles in your hand before you drop it into the pot. Then It'll go into a spiral ❤
